I love #1. Looks like you were a little out of focus on the eyes though. Love the last one too...just something cool about it.

Yea, it was a tad soft on the focus, I'm going to go back and reshoot this weekend probably. Any opinion on #1 (B&W) vs. #2 (Color)? I tried to get a cinematic-feel to #3 and #5, that's what I really like about those two.

Well, I am partially biased to B&W pix...and not experienced enough to comment on anything else lol

I DO love the BLUENESS of the lockers tho...its kinda striking

You don't have to cook like Wolfgang Puck to say what food you like better than another .

The blue lockers are what caught my attention initially, plus the lighting on that spot was pretty cool. All are available lighting as well.

Lmao, not me but my friend who I'm trying to convince that he looks just like Matt Damon, but he won't listen .

#2, #3, #4 - all really nice imo. I think maybe a lot of the appeal of these photos is from the awesome rendering of the lens you used on that huge sensor (35L ?). They're nice and contrasty too.

#2's a good portrait I think. He really stands out against the blue... that's definitely lost in the black and white. Also the skin tones are perfect... another thing lost when converting.

Thanks, yea I love me my shallow DoF and the 35L is my All-Time favorite lens to use while the 5D is my all time favorite (IQ wise) camera. The skin tones weren't too difficult, just shot in RAW and custom WB'd in LR3. Thanks for the comments.

I like the color of number 2. In number 5, it kinda looks like your going to plan a heist or something. Just saying.
